A new referral is systematically generated when a FoodShare member is determined to be an ABAWD who is not meeting the work requirement outside of FSET. This is called a time-limited benefit (TLB) referral. Individuals with a TLB referral will only exhaust a TLB in months when the work requirement is not met.
A new referral is also generated when a non-ABAWD, an ABAWD who is meeting the work requirement outside of FSET, an ABAWD who is living in an area or on tribal lands with a suspension of the time limit, or an ABAWD who received a discretionary exemption intended to function as a suspension of the time limit requests a referral to be sent. These are called non-TLB referrals. ABAWDs with a non-TLB referral due to meeting the FoodShare work requirement will exhaust a TLB if they stop meeting the FoodShare work requirement (see Section 6.2 FSET ABAWD STATUS AND REFERRAL TYPE).
CWW is designed to send new FSET referrals from IM workers to the FSET Tool when an IM worker confirms eligibility and processes the referral. As a result, a new referral may be sent to the FSET agency prior to or after the FoodShare eligibility start date. Only FoodShare eligible individuals can participate in FSET. FSET agencies must carefully monitor referrals for the effective date of FoodShare eligibility. FSET agencies must not enroll or begin providing FSET services to participants prior to the date in which the individual is eligible for FoodShare.
